Safe Jacking for tiered replacement

Could someone critique my jack setup for replacing my tie rods tomorrow? Both rear tires are chocked. Parking brake is on and it’s in gear. Is this a safe place for support? Should I put the stands closer to here I’m working.
thank you

Placement for tie rod replacement

Really can't see what part of the truck is resting on the jacks.

You want the stands on the frame of the truck.
